Nostr Web Client

Lucas, we‘ve built Primal for convenience. We KYC to a custodial wallet partnered with Strike, for convenience. We collect query information to improve search performance.

You need to realize that for Nostr to grow, there needs to be familiar and convenient methods for normies. Otherwise, users will go to a place like Damus and never see the real potential of Nostr. The whole “Nostr is decentralized” phrase isn’t going to work.

Nostr is not just a place for privacy and decentralization freaks. It’s a place for everyone to connect and build their platforms on, however they choose.

Please, instead of just commenting on how devs need to do things, just do them yourself. You’ll realize that you’re not right about everything.

1. That's unnecessary

2. From everything I've observed, using Damus or Amethyst seems to give users a better understanding of Nostrs potential. And I have already onboarded multiple people to use nostr because they grew sick and tired of centralized platforms. That phrase DID work.

3. We all know it's a place for everyone to connect. That ain't news. It's our job as a community to teach them why privacy and decentralization is vital to their livelihood. Something you are not doing.

4. I'm not a developer. I never said I believe I'm right about everything. Show me where I said that. I'm only commenting because user feedback is important and Primal devs don't seem to care about such a thing.

That phrase does and will continue to work, for certain people. For the rest of the normie world, who have never experienced the issues of centralized platforms and never will, that phrase may be irrelevant.

Agree with me or not, I find it hard to believe that Nostr will grow to mainstream size with the only difference between us and centralized platforms being “decentralization”. In the real world, no one cares.

That phrase is irrelevant. I agree. But, who said we have to onboard the entire world? People will get left behind. That is a certainty. That is life. Too bad. They chose that. Focus on your current users and their needs.

If you don't see the full potential of decentralization, then why even work with nostr?

Lucas M 8mo ago

The point is that we need to have top-quality clients before we can begin to onboard those who are willing to engage on nostr. Primal is doing the opposite. You're doing exactly what the whole world is growing tired of.
